Kirstie Alley, fighting the battle of the bulge, has a role model in mind.

"I like the healthy thin side, that's what I admire in others. A perfect example is Jennifer Aniston," said Alley, who's starring in the new Showtime reality-comedy series "Fat Actress." advertisement

"I think she has an incredibly beautiful body," Alley said of the former "Friends" star. "I think she looks healthy. I don't think it's too skinny."

Alley, 54, who said her weight used to vary by no more than 10 to 20 pounds, ballooned up to about 200 pounds in the last few years and lampoons her girth in "Fat Actress." As a new spokeswoman for the Jenny Craig company, she's dropped about 20 pounds so far. Her target is to be "lithe" and a healthy weight, she said. She won't let herself be pressured into excessive thinness, Alley said. At one point, the 5-foot-8 actress dropped to under 115 pounds to try to win a role in "Fatal Attraction."
